    Ignore this piece of sh*t.

    A retarded protagonist and her retarded father drive this so-called haunted car movie. Nothing new. Awful dialogues. Mediocre acting. Forced comedy which only irritates. Only Tamil movies adapt the Horror-Comedy Genre a.k.a Masala Genre. This is one type of tasteless masala that created nausea and headache when watching. Ignore this piece of sh*t at any cost. Nayanthara's worst ever.

    Average movie with poor concept

    It is a movie with average direction. 1st half is done better than second. In second half story concept spoils the entertainment but overall beautiful scenes. Children should surely like the picture because film only feels to be up to that standard. Repeated comedy dialogues slows the movie.

    Dora (2017)

    The movie was very bad. Nobody acted good in the movie. The movie was so boring. The movie was not at all interesting and thrilling. Boring movie.

    Dora - Take a ride on this possessed car along with the lady superstar Nayantara

    Lady Superstar "Nayantara" takes another horror genre after her sleeper hit Maya. Dora follows the recent craze in the industry, which is horror- comedy genre. Nayatara as the lead buys a vintage Austin Cambridge car that is possessed and seeks her help to take revenge on a Psycho burglar group. Therefore, that is pretty much the story.

    On the execution, the first half was slow with some over introduction base of just two characters that is Nayantara as pavala kodi and her father. It moves with some boring comedy scenes between the duo which doesn't seem to hit the note. However, the second half picks up notes right from the scene of the interval break. Nayantara brands herself as equal to a hero in the second half. A sensitive flashback connects pieces in the second half.

    The villain group scares us by their ruthless burglary sessions filled with no mercy murders. There is a cop character shown from the starting but towards the end of the movie it disappears for no reason and nothing was shown what happened to his follow up on the case. VFX was convincing and all car scenes keep us interesting.

    Dora with a lousy 1st half and thrilling 2nd half will be a treat for Nayantara fans.

    • Trivia
      Inspired from the hit Hollywood movie Christine.
    • Alternate versions
      The Hindi dubbed version directly starts with the rape scene followed by a full-fledged scene of Nayanthara's character's surgery (both the scenes were actually of the second half) then the dog's death scene with narration voice-over by Sanket Mhatre, then shifts to the present day. The dog in the Hindi dub is also named Kanchana. Moreover, the Hindi dub with the narration as the original was also released on YouTube (though it's now deleted) with the dog's name Dora as in the original version. Both the versions were certified UA.
